With Usage Based Billing I will have no choice but to dramatically change my and my family’s habits (stop watching Netflix, play less COD and forget about using online backup services) or pay about $19 extra to avoid paying the ridiculous $2/GB fee.

If I signed up for Teksavvy 8 months earlier then the grandfather clause would apply and I could keep using the non-UBB plan.

Note:The photographs contain real blood and gore and therefore are definitely not recommended for children.

The photos were taken by Аркадий Бабченко and now belong to the “Art of War” Almanac.
